Precision Tokens M17 FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect Challenge

Score

If the number of precision tokens left on the field is:

• 1: 10
• 2: 15
• 3: 25
• 4: 35
• 5: 50
• 6: 50

You can lose one precision token without it affecting your score. Use it strategically and be sure you understand R5 , R12 , R15 , R16 , and R19 .

R5 - The six red disc models. They are worth free points when the match starts but can be removed by the referee one at a time until they are gone.

R12 - Home is part of the field:

• Home has no ceiling.
• Home is your space for handling and storing allowable things whenever you like.
• It is also the place for handling and preparing the robot before and between launches.
• After any launch, the robot needs to return completely into home if you want to handle it without losing a precision token.
• The robot can leave home only from the launch area, but it can return to any part of home.
• Do not interact with things outside home except by rules R15 and R19 . Anything the robot affects or moves completely outside home stays as is unless the robot changes it.
• Exception 1: If something comes out of home by accident, grab it quickly so it does not upset the field.
• Exception 2: If equipment breaks off the robot unintentionally, you can pick it up as needed.
• You cannot strategically send or extend anything even partly out of home except by launching the robot.

R15 - When you interact with a launched robot or any object touching it.

• You can interrupt the robot any time for any reason, but be sure to study rules R16 and R19 .
• The best time and place to interrupt the robot is when it is completely in home ( R12 ).
• Do not use the exact “perfect timing” of an interruption (your eyes doing the work of a timer or sensor) as a strategy to produce a new scoring result or advantage. Missions benefiting will score zero.
• Do not send or drop things to hit or land on the robot.

R16 - To interrupt the robot, stop it and carry it home if it is not there.

• If it was completely in home: No problem.
• If it was not completely in home: Lose a precision token.

R19 - If former cargo is stranded outside home. If it is completely outside, it stays as is. If it is partly outside, you must take it into home and lose a precision token.

• The cargo needs to come to rest before this can be decided.
• If stranded cargo being taken into home by hand includes a mission model, the referee takes the mission model.

Rules

FLLCasts tip

Use sensors. Build a robot that can consistently perform missions.
